    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    This beach babe has gone to town on entertainment. Think waterslides, wild pool parties and a top-notch nightclub.

    The Riu Santa Fe’s got pools coming out of its ears. On top of a fistful of pools with swim-up bars, there’s a slide-stuffed waterpark and a mini-pool for little nippers.

    This place has pitched up on Cabo San Lucas’ blinder of a beach, right behind its sister, the Riu Palace. From this first-class spot, you’ve got stellar views of Land’s End – the area’s famous arch.

    This hotel is located on Medano Beach where swimming is possible but it is advised to take caution and always check local guidelines.

    Great Adult Getaway

    I'm not going to lie, I was a bit worried about traveling to this resort after reading some of the reviews that have been posted here. I can honestly say, it was a great resort. I traveled with my husband, bother and friend for a week Sept 28th to Oct 6th. The resort was not busy, which was great. The property is beautiful, especially the pool with the view of the ocean. We spent everyday hanging out at this pool. The activities and entertainment staff were awesome! Very personable with a wide range of activities from water polo to bingo. There was only one bar open, which got a little busy but there was a drink cart making it's way around the pool all day! The food was fantastic, Especially the taco's! If you are looking for a foodie, sit down resort. This is not it. If you are looking for quality food, with large amounts of choice, Riu is for you. We really enjoyed the Italian buffet. All and all good food. The set up of this resort is great, lots of activities and entertainment in the evenings at the central square. A great place to have a drink and dance or watch sports or entertainment. Pool Parties are fun, if you enjoy dancing and partying. The only downfall of this resort would be the beds, the rooms where clean and a good size. The beds were uncomfortable and by the end of the week we were stiff waking up. Some investment in new beds would make this resort a 5 star. We are thinking of returning with our kids, as we think they would really enjoy this hotel.
    Make sure you lock up your money in your room

    Staying at the Riu Santa Fe this week.. Oct 5-13came up from the swim up bar and the maid was cleaning the room. Said hello and Tossed my bag on a chair and sat on the balcony while she finished. After, I changed shorts, grabbed the $1 bills from my wallet for tips and went to the pool party. Didn’t want to bring my wallet, so I tossed back in my pool bag. My fault for not thinking about it. Came back a couple hours later, and when I went to grab my wallet for dinner, the rest of my money was gone from my wallet. Thankfully credit cards and ID was still there. Lost a couple hundred dollars. Expensive reminder. Lock up/hide your money
    Great experience!

    Had a really good time. I was there for a week with my niece and her 16-year-old son. We thoroughly enjoyed the main buffet. We went to only one A la carte. It was good but nothing exceptional and the placemats were dirty. The only thing I would recommend to the hotel is to cut off alcohol to people that are noticeably drunk. Our unit was fairly close to the RIU party pool and there were multiple nights where people were Pounding on doors and yelling at three in the morning. The staff were fabulous though. They really went the extra mile with the guests. They were friendly and always ready to lend a hand if needed. I would definitely go back.
    Warning: Women being drugged at pool party!

    I believe I was drugged at the Riu Santa Fe last week. I was with group of friends attending the jungle party. I made the mistake of going to the bar by myself to get a drink, within 1/2 of that drink I don't remember anything that happened afterwards. My friends were surprised that I had gotten "drunk" so fast since we were all drinking about the same amount. Luckily they helped me back to my room where I slept it off. I woke up around 9:00 pm wide away, no typical hang over, no alcohol sickness and no memory of the night before. If I had been drunk I would have had a hangover and been throwing up. I knew something wasn't right they way my friends described my behavior and subsequent passing out. It didn't even occur to me that I had been drugged until I had returned home and the more I thought about it the more I realized I was not drunk, but drugged. I suspect it was the bartender. :( Ladies, please beware and be careful. Search google for related stories of women being drugged in Mexico and at the Riu Santa Fe. I don't want this to happen to anyone else!
    Just OK.....

    Large resort, beautifully furnished. Many pool options. Drinks were definitely pouring at this AI resort, mini-bar was well stocked. I personally didn't care for the food-lots of options,but not tasty. Short taxi ride to the Marina area for additional restaurants and shopping. The evening shows were decent- a great male singer and fairly good dancers. I didnt find the staff to be especially friendly or welcoming. Not likely to return here.
